KG,

There seems to be more talk of a deal with ATHM on the AOL thread than on the ATHM thread.

> There has been rumor of a 1 for 1 swap after AOL's split. AOL between 150-160 and athm between 50-60 equates to aol at 75-80 after the split, a nice premium for athm, and certainly not too extreme for aol shareholders, most of which want a deal to happen.

I'm guessing that the smart AOL shareholders would love to see some sort of arrangement with ATHM. Maybe they think this dog is gonna be nipping at their heels sometime in the not too distant future? Maybe they don't want the threat of serious competition from any quarter. ATHM is a flea. AOL is the gorilla that would take over the world. Why so much talk over there of a deal with ATHM?

AOL shareholdes are wishing that ATHM would sell out at $80. What a laugh. ATHM will be making new highs in less than 4 months.
Volume is picking up because of shorties who are covering and going long plus the institutions who are finally waking up to the fact that ATHM, one of the best ranked internet stocks, is still trading ~50% below its all time high as YHOO is about the make an all time high. YHOO and ATHM both hit their '99 lows early August, since then YHOO is up almost 100% and ATHM ~25%. Volume has also picked up on the whole market if you haven't noticed, usually when a bottom is defined money comes in.
